Otis Redding Songtext / Lyric

Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? Do you remember?

Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were living the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide

Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? Do you remember?

Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eating top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life

I don’t want to be wasted
I don’t want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don’t want to be wasted, I dont want to be blind

I don’t want tob e wasted
I don’t want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don’t want to be wasted I don’t want to be (blind)
I don’t want to be wasted I don’t want to be (blind)
I don’t want to be wasted I don’t want to be blind

I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune

Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy
In a way no one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live

I don’t want to be wasted
I don’t want to live inside of this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don’t want to be wasted, I don’t want to be (blind)

I don’t want to be wasted
No, I don’t want to live inside of this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I dont want to be wasted I don’t want to be
I dont want to be wasted I don’t want to be
I dont want to be wasted I don’t want to be blind
No, I don’t want to be blind
No, I don’t want to be blind
